3.1 TEMPORARY WORKS ROLES IN THE CONSTRUCTION TEAM
3.1.9
In 2008, when BS5975 was updated, the role of ‘Falsework Coordinator’ was
superseded by the TWC. The role relates to other TWC’s other than the PC’s TWC, i.e.,
the sub-contractors TWC. The training and management responsibility is the same
as the PC’s TWC however they are only responsible for the works that they are
specialist. They are therefore likely to be classified as a design and build subcontractor in relation to temporary works. They may also be responsible for the design
and build of the permanent works.
3.1.10 The TWS is a specific role given to the specialist design and build sub-contractor in
relation to temporary works. The role could also apply to a labourer only subcontractor whereby the temporary works design has been undertaken and the
materials or equipment has been provided by others. The labourer only subcontractor is therefore only responsible for building the temporary works.
3.1.11 The following organograms (figure 1 and 2) show how the appointments described
above interface with each other. This is for illustration purposes only showing only a
small proportion of specialist sub-contractors. Note that this does not include others
who can influence decisions relating to planning, design and implementation of
temporary works.
